Special Detectives from Abuja continue to search for Governor Abba Yusuf's spokesperson, Sanusi Bature Dawakin-Tofa, despite a court order restraining their actions. The alleged pursuit stems from a petition filed by Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje, the Acting Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), accusing Dawakin-Tofa of orchestrating his suspension from the party.
No fewer than 40 Special Detectives from Abuja are allegedly still searching for Governor Abba Yusuf's spokesperson, Sanusi Bature Dawakin-Tofa, over the Ganduje suspension story saga.

The animosity between Dawakin-Tofa and Ganduje, dates back to nine years ago, specifically in 2015, when Ganduje, as governor-elect, reportedly ordered Dawakin-Tofa's arrest over his opposition during the gubernatorial election. Recently, Ganduje allegedly petitioned the IGP, accusing Dawakin-Tofa of being the brain behind his suspension by the APC Ganduje ward executives a few months ag
